. . . (with inspiration from Allycorn)

A million worlds
Built from your words
Caverns filled with promises

Don't lie and tell me that 
Even without sparks
Fires can burn

Growth is something your
Hands cannot force upon me 
I need to do it myself

Just wait a bit longer
Kill those thoughts telling you to
"Leave" and give me a bit more time

My heart is tired from trying 
Not to break when you leave
Or hope that you'll come back

Please don't stay if you don't want to
Quietly slip out the door
Run fast so you are long gone when I get home

Stay if you want to 
Take my hands in yours
Undo the knots you tied in my heart

Various doctors have told me that
Words won't hurt me 
X-rays of my soul disagree

Yell the words you know will cut me, just promise you'll
Zip up the body bag so my face remains hidden
